As a method of dealing with the threat of power inflator destruction due to high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) attacks on electronic equipment and power supply equipment in Japan's metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas, Recommendations for considering the introduction of grid].

1. High Altitude Electro Magnetic (HEMP) generated by the explosion of at least one or more nuclear explosive devices / warheads equipped on one ballistic missile at a high altitude (about 30Km to 400Km). Pulse)) The areas of damage and destruction to the electrical and electronic systems caused by the attack will instantly paralyze not only the core infras of Japan's metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas, but also defense facilities and air defense equipment such as interceptor missiles and fighters. It's a terrifying threat, far larger than the areas where the heat rays, blasts, and radiation generated by the same explosion can kill people and destroy buildings.

 

In particular, all activities that depend on electricity in areas affected by an electromagnetic pulse attack due to a high-altitude nuclear explosion become paralyzed or destroyed by damaging or destroying almost all of the electrical and electronic systems. Furthermore, it takes a long time (weeks to years) to recover the condition because it is difficult for the current restoration personnel, equipment, etc. to prepare for a normal failure condition that does not assume a large amount of destruction. As a result, hunger and illness are expected to occur and spread, resulting in the death of a large number of personnel.

 

The land-based interception missile system "Aegis Ashore," which Japan plans to introduce in preparation for the threat of North Korean ballistic missiles, is said to be highly compatible with the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis escort ship.

The overall performance of Aegis Ashore exceeds that of the High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) deployed by the USFK.

 

In Japan's ballistic missile defense (BMD), the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis ship deployed at sea first intercepts in outer space, and if it is missed, the Air Self-Defense Force's ground-based interception missile Patriot (PAC3) is in the atmosphere. It is a two-stage stance to intercept. With the introduction of Aegis Ashore, which has the same interception performance as the Aegis ship, the system for intercepting in outer space will be thickened.

 

Aegis Ashore is said to be able to cover the Japanese archipelago with two units, and the main unit cost is about 80 billion yen. After finalizing the amount in consultation with the United States, the policy is to include the basic design cost in the initial budget for FY2018. The operation is scheduled to start in FY2011, but it may be earlier.

 

However, Aegis Ashore is almost powerless against ballistic missiles with multiple warheads. Damage to the electrical and electronic systems caused by a HEMP (High Altitude Electro Magnetic Pulse) attack caused by an unsuccessful nuclear warhead exploding at a high altitude (about 30Km to 400Km). The destroyed area is a terrifying threat that instantly paralyzes not only the core infras of Japan's metropolitan areas and metropolitan areas, but also defense facilities such as interceptor missiles and fighter aircraft, and air defense equipment. It is much larger than the area where radiation causes the killing of people and the destruction of buildings.

 

At the same time, the impact of HEMP destroys electronic devices including defense facilities such as interceptor missiles and fighters, and air defense equipment, which causes a chain effect on major infrastructure. As a result, the restoration of various infrastructures affected by the chain will be delayed, security will be impaired, and national activities will decline.

 

Specifically, the power infrastructure was damaged first, and it spread to communications, energy, and other infrastructures, causing serious impacts on financial systems, food and water supply, medical care provision, trade, production activities, and service industries. ing.

Since the above-mentioned power supply suspension will be prolonged, the restoration of various infrastructures powered by electric power will not proceed slowly, and there will be no recovery schedule and the reproduction will be uncertain.

 

I understand the feelings of the Japanese government and the Ministry of Defense that arms dealers are selling Aegis Ashore by looking at the footsteps of Japan's defense capabilities and wanting to cling to Aegis Ashore for their own HEMP defense. I can do it, and I can sympathize with it, but as long as it has the drawback of intercepting multiple bullets, the people are not accumulating.

 

About 160 billion yen for two units is included in the initial budget for FY2018 for the basic design cost of the main body of Aegis Ashore, which has a problem with the ability to intercept multiple warheads, but it is a problem. Aegis Ashore admits that it is an essential defense facility and air defense equipment, but in addition to the high altitude interception defense facility and air defense equipment that relied on this one, it failed to intercept and the high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP (HEMP) High Altitude Electro Magnetic Pulse)) You should also spend money on what to do if you are exposed to an attack.

 

2. Therefore, at our company, as a next-generation energy source (self-sufficient, infinite energy source) that can be installed in the HEMP shelter, it is difficult to operate with geothermal resources (high temperature rock body, hot water, low temperature hot water, hot water). We have developed a geothermal power generation system consisting of a heat regeneration engine and a generator with the optimum power generation range of 40 ° C or higher in the low temperature region, which was supposed to be.

 

3. 3. The following is an outline of the geothermal power generation system. Generates energy from low-temperature heat sources (hot dry rock, hot water, low-temperature hot water, hot water), which is an infinite energy source, with the same efficiency as natural gas power generation.

(1) Instead of the turbine method, a newly developed thermal regenerative power generation engine with an operating range of 40 ° C or higher in geothermal resources (hot dry rock, hot water, low-temperature hot water, hot water), which is an infinite energy source.

(2) Newly developed next-generation energy power generation system as a self-sufficient and infinite energy source that surpasses nuclear power generation.

(3) Waste heat and geothermal heat are used as power generation energy sources. There is no need to replenish power generation fuel like coal and natural gas.

(4) You can freely get abundant electric power at any place and in any amount at any time.

(5) It is possible to replace the current nuclear power generation.

(6) The cost is 1 yen or less / kWh (8 yen / kWh for nuclear power generation cost, 12 yen / kWh for solar power generation cost), which is a much lower price than the cost of nuclear power generation and solar power generation.

(7) No need for decommissioning like nuclear power generation.

(8) Our geothermal power generation system is a zero emission (almost zero waste), a clean power generation method that does not emit radioactive substances like nuclear power generation. Therefore, even if it is installed in the HEMP shelter as a lifeline power source, it does not contaminate the inside of the shelter.

(9) Consists of a thermal regeneration engine and a vinyl generator that use a heat source of 40 ° C or higher, which was difficult to use in the past, as the optimum power generation area for geothermal resources (high-temperature rocks, hot water, low-temperature hot water, hot water). It's a geothermal power generation system.

(10) Energy of low-temperature heat source can be generated with high efficiency equivalent to natural gas power generation.

(11) It is not fixed to a volcanic area as in the past, and can be installed anywhere on the ground regardless of location. For example, it can be installed in urban areas.

(12) It is possible to configure a distributed micro grid (smart grid) in which multiple network power generation systems are used. This eliminates the need for a conventional power transmission system that transmits power from local power generation facilities to cities. At the same time, transmission loss can be avoided. In a general power grid, when 100 km is transmitted, half of the power becomes heat as a transmission loss.

(13) With thermal efficiency higher than that of natural gas power generation or nuclear power generation, it is possible to configure from a 100kW class compact power generation system to a 1000GW class power generation system that surpasses nuclear power plants.

(14) A distributed microgrid configuration with multiple networks of power generation systems is possible.

(15) Most of the power generation facilities in rural areas are extremely expensive power with a selling price of 40 yen / kwh.

Our company's geothermal area cover newly developed heat regeneration binary engine installed Closed cycle heat exchange binary geothermal power generation system with multiple network distributed microgrid (smart grid) is configured in the city to be a power supply in the city.

As a result, solar power generation is a typical example of local power generation equipment, but it is not necessary to purchase extremely expensive local power with a selling price of 40 yen / Kwh. It will be possible to reduce the social burden on the city.

 

Four. Below are the details of the newly developed geothermal power generation system m.

(1) We have succeeded in research and development of a thermal engine and a thermal regeneration system capable of generating electricity in a low temperature region of 40 to 95 ° C in geothermal resources (hot dry rock, hot water, low temperature hot water, hot water). This system is a closed system that does not generate waste such as wastewater due to zero emission and does not need to supply fuel such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

Therefore, as a lifeline power supply compatible with high-altitude electromagnetic pulses, it can be operated while being covered with a HEMP shelter.

 

The thermal engine is a power source for applying a rotational force to a connected generator to generate electric power, and the thermal engine transmits the steam force generated by the working fluid to the generator as a rotary energy to generate electric power. To urge.

The heat regeneration system is a mechanism that recovers the heat energy from the heat source (hot spring or hot spring) and gives it to the working fluid. We have newly developed an expander that operates efficiently even at low pressure and incorporated it into the heat regeneration system. It is unique in that it is.

 

(2) The above thermal engine is a thermal regeneration system that can generate electricity in the low temperature range of 40 to 95 ° C, which has been considered difficult to reuse. The installation area is compact with only 2m².

 

(3) The power generation capacity is 1GW to 10GW per geothermal power generation system.

This corresponds to the power generation capacity equivalent to 1 to 10 units in terms of the largest nuclear reactor.

It can supply electricity to a population of 1 to 10 million.

 

(4) Our thermal engine is also characterized in that it operates around the boiling point of the working medium.

Therefore, when a low boiling point working medium is used, electric power can be generated from a low temperature (specifically, 40 ° C.) heat source.

Specifically, our geothermal power generation system equipped with a thermal engine generates electricity by combining (1) HFC245fa as an operating medium, (2) a heat source of 40 ° C (underground hot water), and (3) cooling water of 25 ° C.

 

(5) The geothermal power generation system, which is a combination of the thermal engine and the thermal regeneration system with a generator, has been difficult to use for geothermal power generation in geothermal resources (high temperature rock body, hot water, low temperature hot water, hot water). It is possible to recover the heat energy from the heat source in the low temperature region of 40 to 95 ° C, which has been used, and efficiently convert it into electric power.

The heat-electric conversion efficiency of the thermal engine is extremely high, twice the heat-electric conversion efficiency of the conventional geothermal power generation system (normal operating temperature 120 ° C).

 

(6) As a specific example, consider a geothermal power generation system that circulates the heat source to generate electricity while storing hot energy at 80 ° C in the heat storage tank.

Conventional geothermal power generation has a problem in that the temperature range of the heat source required for power generation is nominally 80 to 150 ° C, and the lower limit of the practical operating temperature is about 120 ° C.

Since this fundamental problem cannot be solved sufficiently, (1) the installation location is significantly limited to the vicinity of the volcano and the hot spring, and there is a problem that it is difficult to spread.

 

Since the heat engine developed by our company can supply power to the gas turbine generator with high efficiency in the low temperature range of the spec value of 40 to 95 ° C, the geothermal power generation system generates power until the heat source (hot water) reaches about 50 ° C. As a result of being able to sustain, the total amount of power generation is larger than that of other companies' technologies.

 

On the other hand, conventional geothermal power generation requires an operating temperature range of 120 ° C or higher, so the place where the generator is installed is limited to places such as volcanic areas and national parks, which has become a popular issue.

Our geothermal power generation system allows a very low temperature range of 40 ° C or higher, so it can be widely applied to areas where hot water comes out as a generator installation location, and it is a special area such as a volcanic area or a national park. The feature is that it is not limited to the place.

 

(7) The application example of our geothermal power generation system (closed cycle heat exchange vinyl geothermal power generation system equipped with a newly developed heat regeneration binary engine covering the entire geothermal area) is not limited to underground hot water.

For example, many industrial plants use a large amount of industrial water to reduce the temperature of wastewater to about 50 ° C.

By introducing our thermal engine and thermal regeneration system in such a plant, it will be possible to extract electric power in the process of lowering the wastewater temperature instead of inputting a large amount of industrial water.

As a result, a system configuration having excellent economic efficiency becomes possible.

 

Our company's geothermal area cover Newly developed heat regeneration binary engine installed Closed cycle heat exchange binary Geothermal power generation system with multiple network distributed microgrid (smart grid, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, self-sufficient, self-sufficient) It will be possible in the city. As a result, the city will be able to adequately meet the required electricity demand.

 

As a result, the burden of purchasing local power, which is extremely expensive at a selling price of 40 yen / Kwh, due to solar power generation, which is a representative of local power generation facilities, can be released, and the social burden on the city can be reduced.
